Re: Hi from New York Hudson Valley Area (1 replies, posted in Introduce yourself)

Very warm welcome to you.

I'm really keen on trying to write songs - something I have never acheved but always longed to do.

Perhaps you can offer some assistance in how you go about writing music?

Re: Learning guitar made easy- through online (3 replies, posted in Guitar Techniques)

Thanks for joining and good luck with your site though I would ask you limit your advertising within the forum as it can become too much.

Why not put your site in your signiture then each post something you make will be a kind of advert without you advertising?

Thanks

Re: Bad Habits (31 replies, posted in Guitar Techniques)

A lot of players do not use their pinky much - Slash is another example but the important thing with these players is the fact they *can* use their pinky if they want and when needed.

This is only achieved by practicing using your pinky which myself, and I would guess a lot of other guitarists don't do until they realise sometimes it is needed

Re: A way to talk about rhythm in posts (2 replies, posted in Music Theory)

This is a new concept to me, I have always felt tab is flawed because a lack of ability to show rhythm which is the most important factor of music.

This method could be an easy way to show timing and rhythm online.

Thanks for the post - very informative

Topic: How to begin a song (19 replies, posted in Songwriting on Guitar)

This is where I struggle.

I know I have the ability to write music but I struggle with where to start.

How doy ou begin your music?

I also seem to suffer from not being able to enjoy music until it becomes familiar to me, so it means I struggle badly with wrting. I may be playing something I would really grow to appreciate but then too quick to pass it off as it's unfamiliar.

Am I alone on this one?

Re: New GnR Album (3 replies, posted in Bands)

Yep I agree - I like Velvet Revolver and I like the new Gnr - both have something missing.

Topic: New GnR Album (3 replies, posted in Bands)

So the long awaited Chinese Democracy is finally here.

I have my copy and I have mixed feelings on it. Some of the songs are starting to grow more on me now I have listened to a it a few times though it's certainly no another appetite for destruction.

I think the guitaring is a little bit of a let down - Slash is missed.

What are your opinions on it?

Re: Singing AND playing (2 replies, posted in Newbie Section)

Just relax into it. Start by thinking of the song melody in your head, then move onto humming it the you will be able to sing and play.

Re: hi matei am new,help me (1 replies, posted in Newbie Section)

Just take it slowly, one step at a time. There are many exercises to get your hands synced together, but even playing scales using alternate picking will work.

use a metronome (you can even download free metronomes so no excuse) and play each note evenly and in time. Once you have a time mastered raise it up by one or two BPS and master that.

You will soon be in sync no problem

Re: theory bboks???? (2 replies, posted in Newbie Section)

I think it is good to have some direction when practicing and playing and going through the RGT will guide you though I don't find it to be a particularly fun way of learning.

I guess it preference but I think there are better books out there - it is just fining ones that suit you
